The DALI Alliance, the global industry organization for DALI – the internationally standardized protocol for digital communication between lighting control devices – will highlight major new developments during the upcoming Light + Building 2026 exhibition, taking place March 8–13 in Frankfurt, Germany, in Hall 8.0, Booth D80A.

The DALI Alliance will focus on expanding member access to enhanced technical resources, certification data, and interoperability tools — reinforcing DALI’s position as the leading open lighting protocol for intelligent, connected lighting systems.

In addition, the DALI Alliance will also recognize the winners of the 2026 DALI Lighting Awards, celebrating outstanding projects that demonstrate creative, high-performance use of DALI technologies across architectural, commercial and industrial applications. Winners will be featured at the DALI Alliance booth at Light + Building.

Paul Drosihn, General Manager of the DALI Alliance, said, “Light + Building is always a milestone moment for our community, and this year we are especially pleased to introduce new developments that give our members better access to the resources and data they rely on. These improvements strengthen the value of DALI as a global standard and reinforce our commitment to supporting improved education around open, interoperable lighting systems. We are also delighted to celebrate the 2026 DALI Lighting Awards winners, whose projects continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with DALI technology.”

Added Jeremy Ludyjan, Marketing Manager of the DALI Alliance, “Our focus this year has been on expanding the tools and information available to our members and the wider lighting industry, ensuring they can work more efficiently and with greater confidence in the interoperability of the DALI protocol. The enhancements we are unveiling at Light + Building reflect direct feedback from our global community. It’s inspiring to see how the industry continues to innovate, and the award-winning projects demonstrate the strength and versatility of the DALI ecosystem.”
